Imagine the amount of planning and trusting Washington and Rochambeau relied upon. Believing that the French Navy would arrive and be on time.
It's easy to forget that there was no modern communication and planning the strategy required for an engagement like this was almost a miracle. No wonder that George Washington was so elated. Maybe another instance of Devine Providence? I choose to believe that God was guiding and protecting Washington throughout his life.
I regret that I was never taught of the significance of Rochambeau's actions nor the "deceitful retreat" of colonial forces from the New York area, instead concentrating on the actions of Washington and Lafayette. Thank you, Tara, for yet another illuminating look at our nation's past.
Love learning the details about the fight for freedom! Thank you Tara Ross for your commitment to telling the lesser known history bits that bring history to life! 🤓🇺🇸
I have a mental picture of George Washington waving his hat with glee and shouting, “ I love when a plan comes together.” You have to love this story. Thank you Ms. Tara Ross.
A Republic, IF you can keep it! Facilitated by our friends the French! I guess it's a good thing that France and England were not allies. Thank You Tara, for keeping us thinking!
Amazing story Tara. Thank you.

Washington’s joy was perhaps due to the fact that he could see the end of the war if all went well!
